CHAPTER EIGHT

CONOR BLINKED, THEN stared at the apparition walking into the department.

Tamara in fitted scrubs. Scrubs that showcased the perfect figure wearing them. Wow. She looked stunning.

Down, boyo. You’re at work.

True. And if Tam knew what was in his mind she’d do the aloof thing all morning. But... A guy was allowed to dream, wasn’t he? It was the end of the week, and who knew what they might get up to in the weekend? ‘Morning, Tam.’

She didn’t even bite. Just tightened her hands into fists as she walked towards him. ‘Hi.’

Make-up. Her face was always beautiful. Today he was all out of words. Those deep brown eyes, accentuated with mascara and some other coloured goo, were bigger, brighter, more fall-into-them-looking. Her peaky cheeks had colour, her lips... How could he not have been aware they were so full? So luscious? It was going to be a very long day.

Tam came around the end of the counter and stood in front of him. ‘You still on for four o’clock?’

Blink. ‘Of course I am,’ he snapped. ‘Like I’d bail.’

‘I was thinking more that you might have to stay back to do paperwork or something.’

At the end of most days he usually put in an hour behind his desk, trying to placate the paper gods upstairs. ‘Not today. Our—’

She cut him off with a warning nod to the side. ‘Morning, guys.’

The day crew had arrived all together. ‘Later.’ He gave Tam a curt nod. Damn but she looked beyond beautiful. Not even her permanent exhaustion was getting a look in this morning.

A registrar from the previous shift filled them in on patients before heading away.

Conor’s nostrils received a hit of spring flowers. Tamara stood beside him. He breathed deeper, enjoyed the scent, remembered her satin-like skin, and forced his body to behave.

A gentle nudge from Tamara’s elbow.

When he glanced sideways he fell into a huge smile.

An almost imperceptible shake of her head. She knew what he was thinking?

Then Michael stood up. ‘Hope everyone can join me at the local after work. It’s my birthday on Sunday so I’m shouting a few rounds.’

‘Sorry, but I’ve got an appointment at four.’ One he wouldn’t miss for anything. Excitement fizzed in his veins.

‘You can’t change it?’ Michael asked. ‘I know you won’t be drinking since you’re running that race tomorrow but they sell water.’

‘No can do.’ Conor stared straight ahead, afraid of looking at Tamara in case everyone could read his thoughts.

‘You’re running in the morning?’ Annoyance slapped at him from the woman beside him.

‘A ten k run on the North Shore.’ It had never occurred to him to mention it.

Michael asked, ‘What about you, Tamara?’

‘I’m not running anywhere.’

‘So you’ll be there for drinks.’ Michael laughed.

‘Sorry, but I can’t make it either.’ She sounded as if she’d like to cancel their appointment.

‘You both going to the same thing, by any chance?’ asked one of the older nurses with a hint of laughter in her voice.

He looked at Tamara. Shall we tell them?

She glared at him, then just as abruptly sighed and lifted her head a notch to nod.
